The old British wooden adjustable compass planes are a modification
of the
non-adjustable wooden compass plane.
See the non-adjustable compass plane review for the core details of
this type of plane.
The difference between the two types is the adjustable compass plane
has an adjustment mechanism at the front of the plane.
The adjustable wooden compass planes have an adjustable node at the
front of the plane which depending on the design is either knocked
gently with a small mallet or wound using a winder adjusting mechanism.

"Just stumbled across your website and an absolute treasure trove of information.
I was recently given an old Stanley 110 block plane and wanted to know more about it.
Your website told me everything I needed to know.
But there is so much more to read. I forsee me spending a lot of time just reading
page after page. I can appreciate how much time this will have taken to put together.
I just wanted to let you know that your hard work is appreciated."
